Pitkin judge says arrest affidavits in Pfister murder will remain under seal

From The Aspen Times:  Pitkin County District Judge Gail Nichols released a written ruling Monday that says the information supporting the arrests of three people accused of killing Aspen native Nancy Pfister will remain under seal until after a preliminary hearing.

The preliminary hearing for defendants William Styler, Nancy Styler and Katherine Carpenter, who are being held in separate county jails without bond, is set for June 25, 27 and 30 and July 2.

The judge ruled that some information in the court files linked to each defendant, such as various motions and responses filed by defense attorneys and prosecutors, can be released later this week, on Thursday. But arrest-warrant affidavits — which include details about the investigation and insight into why authorities believe the Stylers and Carpenter are responsible for Pfister’s late-February death — will not be unsealed Thursday.
